Atomic Rooster are
one of the great progressive rock bands of the early seventies. Formed around
organ player Vincent Crane and drummer Carl Palmer (later
with ELP), who broke away from The Crazy Of The World Of Arthur Brown,
they released their eponymous debut album in 1969.

With Vincent Crane's
expressive Hammond playing , John (Du) Cann's riffy style and Paul
Hammond's solid bass Atomic Rooster enjoyed a couple of "hit" singles
"Devils Answer" and "Tomorrow Night". They became badged as a sort of satanic
rock band with lyrics that alluded to sorcery and the devil.

It was in 1973 that Crane
sacked Du Cann and subsequently Hammond left the band. Both departees formed
Bullet (later called Hard Stuff) who debuted on Purple Records
and Du Cann later replaced GaryMoore in Thin
Lizzy.
Atomic Rooster never quite
recovered in spite of a revival in the late-seventies when the "classic"
line-up reformed. However, the influence of punk/ new wave is evident on
the later recordings featured on this CD.

This definitive Angel
Air release has been compiled by John Du Cann and features comprehensive
liner notes and his own guide to each track. Several tracks feature Angel
Air regular John McCoy on bass.
